Down but not yet out

All the construction projects connected with the Euro 2012 European football championship will soon be completed. The scale of projects with support from European funds (e.g. roads) will soon gradually get smaller. Roman Nowicki, chairman of the Construction Congress, emphasises that some construction companies might have problems with securing new contracts as a result. Having few prospects for further projects they might start reducing their workforces or salaries. As a result there will be a lot of construction professionals looking for new jobs on the market. "The best specialists should have no problems finding new jobs. They will certainly be employed by companies that have secured long-term contracts and are doing well. Nonetheless, there will a much higher level of competition among construction professionals on the Polish job market compared to now. This will bring about a stabilisation of salaries. The lowering of wages also cannot be ruled out in many cases," predicts Roman
